Introduction

When we travel, we wear helmets to protect our heads. The same can be applied when we weld.

Various welding jobs pose dangerouse threats to the face, especially to the eyes of the welder. If a welder isn’t wearing a proper welding helmet, he’ll be exposed to the flares and radiation emitted while welding, which may cause his retina and cataract to burn at some point. The worst part is that ultraviolet radiation and infrared radiation don’t usually affect the eye instantly—they reveal their symptoms after some time which can lead to eye discomfort, swelling, and even temporary blindness.

Recent Advancements in Technology

Today, we can categorize helmets into two: passive and auto-darkening.

The first type includes a dark lens which does not adjust or change. While wearing this, welders usually nod to let the helmet down as they begin the arc.

Meanwhile, the second type is more comfortable and convenient to use, especially if the welder needs to habitually lower and raise the helmet during a welding job because they come with sensors that automatically darken (hence the name) the lens once they sense the luminous electric arc.

Auto-Darkening Helmets

This type also has its own categories. Auto-darkening helmets can either have a variable shade or a fixed shade.

The former comes with a lens that has varying shades from which the welder can choose from. This is highly advantageous when a welder needs to use different welding applications and processes. A digital keypad is used to adjust the lens shade, depending on how bright the arc is.

On the other hand, auto-darkening helmets with a fixed shade will only darken to a single shade that’s been previously set. It’s an excellent choice for applications where the welder needs to go through the same weld again.

Auto-darkening helmets also provide varying operational modes that alter the lens shade, for instance, for plasma cutting or grinding. The modes offer more flexibility, enabling one helmet to be utilized for many applications and tasks.

Conclusion

Welding helmets today are stepping up their game by offering advanced technology that brings convenience and comfort. These developments help welders become more productive. If this is so, shouldn’t you be stepping up your game too? Why not take the opportunity to experience the features they offer such as enhanced headgear and tracking functions? Why not take the chance to encounter better protection? Because let’s just face it. Welding helmets are essential and not optional.

We’ve all had moments of drained energy. It could be due to doing chores at home all day or watching the kids all day. It could also be due to making reports at work all day or attending important meetings all day. It could even be due to running errands immediately after cleaning at home or hosting events right after presenting at work.

And so, we constantly have to find ways to freshen up.

But did you know that there’s more to freshening up than the usual doses of juice at home or the usual fixes of coffee at work?

Ladies and gentlemen, here are some other awesome ways to freshen up:

Drink beer.

Whoever says beer is only for those who are into drinking their nights out or hanging out with their friends probably never knew what it really is. You see, aside from allowing one to fill up his energy bar after a long day of working hard here and there, beer also allows one to keep himself healthy and fit physically even after a long week of working hard here and there – thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties that are only usually seen in more-to-less-caffeine drinks like coffee. You also see, aside from allowing one to fill up his inspiration bar after a long week of working hard here and there – beer also allows one to keep himself healthy and fit mentally even after a long month of working hard here and there – thanks to its antioxidant properties that are only usually seen in less-to-zero caffeine drinks like tea.

Go DIY.

Contrary to popular belief, going DIY is not just meant for one to freshen up his own knowledge and skills on anything that involves creativity. Believe it or not, going DIY is also meant for one to freshen up his ideas and motivations on anything that involves creativity. And by this, it means that going DIY helps you freshen up in a way where you would love to continue what you’re doing and even more for you to grow up and become a better person than you were before. And by this, it also means that going DIY helps you freshen up in a way where others would love to continue what they’re doing and even more for them to grow up and become better people than they were before. To put it simply, going DIY and freshening up just as you did with things is like inspiring yourself and motivating others just as you did with yourself.

We all know how beer can keep us healthy with its immunity properties. We also know how beer can keep us fit with its antioxidant properties. We even know how beer can help us become more sociable as we gather the courage to talk with others during big parties.

But just like any other drink known to man, there are some guidelines we should learn more about before having one.

Remember these when drinking beer:

Go for low-alcohol beer.

As per name, low-alcohol beers are beers with little alcohol content in it. As per name, low-alcohol beers can also be beers with no alcohol content in it. This is not just to promote health and fitness above everything, but also to promote quality and substance above everything – not just to make a beer look great and taste great, but also to make a beer reduce any other physical effects it may have on the drinker like sudden heartburns or skin rashes.

Never drink with bubbles.

No matter how low a beer’s alcohol content may be, one should never drink with bubbles. The reason for this is quite simple. Beer bubbles have more gas content than others: the most prominent one being carbon dioxide, which vehicles also give off when used with certain types of fuel. This will not just make your stomach gassy more than usual, but also bloated more than usual and might not turn your tummy flatback unless you completely withdraw from drinking beer.

As usual, drink beer moderately.

This is not just to save yourself from the physical effects of drinking and the like, but also to save yourself from the imminent dangers of hangovers and the like such as alcohol intoxications and road accidents.

Another tip? Go for homebrewed beers, instead of those easily purchased in stores. You can also use a heater pad home brew with it to keep its tastefulness and freshness, as well as its healthiness and fitness.
